"Remind me HOW he lost the Tony for his Buddy in FOLLIES again? To quote Fred Willard in A MIGHTY WIND..."Wha' happened?" I mean, Mme. Pretentious was doomed...I mean, bound to win for DIANE PAULUS' PORGY AND MESS from the minute she signed the contract, but how did Burstein lose? Really? I guess I'm just stirrin' up an ol' can of worms here, so never mind."
Because Follies had already closed by the time the Tonys came along that year.
I forgot to say this: If FIDDLER does play at the Imperial, then it would be a revival that plays in the very theater the original production premiered in many years ago; the original production in late 1964 opened in the Imperial Theater with Zero Mostel playing Tevye.
"I just really want Ben Fankhauser to play Motel." "The only problem with that is that Fankhauser is gonna be playing Barry Mann in the national tour of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical." "Please excuse me while I go freak out and then buy tickets...source???"
Holy fvck Jessica Hecht!!!! Oh my God, yes! Such inspired casting, genius, genius

Adam Kantor is...28? 29? He's slightly older than Austin Pendleton was when he originated the role (24) and younger than John Cariani, who received a Tony nomination for the last revival (35).
"Adam Kantor is...28? 29? He's slightly older than Austin Pendleton was when he originated the role (24) and younger than John Cariani, who received a Tony nomination for the last revival (35). I don't think it will be an issue."
Leonard Frey was also only 32 years old when they filmed the movie.
I love Danny Burstein, and I will see him in just about anything, but I feel like he's been playing some variation of the Eastern European Jewish man for the last couple of years.
Hey, a guy's gotta eat.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
Can the title of the thread be changed to "...Will Open on Broadway this December."?
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.
